INSECTA SAUNDERSIANA. 
Body beneath having its pile of a light ashy brown, more or less 
mixed with yellowish. 
Legs proportionally more slender, having their ground pile much 
lighter; not only the tarsi, but also the tibiae nearly entirely (base excepted) 
and the thighs partly clothed with a yellowish fulvous pile, rarer, and of a 
less fine texture on the tarsi than in Sten. fulvitarsis. 
Stenocerus migratorius ( Chevrolat ), Jekel. 
Ovato-suboblongus , piceo-brunneus , brunneo tomentosus, margine interiori 
oculorum , lineolaque media basali capitis , thoracis disco nebulose 
punctoque laterali ante medium , scutello , elytrorum sutura inter- 
stitiisque alternis {prcesertim antice posticeque ), corpore subtus irro- 
ratim, femoribus tibiisqueparce tarsisque dense Icete fulvo-squamosis ; 
thorace lateribus mediocriter bisinuato , apice maculis duabus tri- 
busque ante medium disci lineolaque intra-laterali antice posticeque 
evanescente dilute fuscis ornato; elytrorum sutura interstitiisque

This species is extremely allied in coloration and general outline to 
Sten. long ulus, Jekel; it, nevertheless, differs in having the constant fol¬ 
lowing differences:— 
The size is always smaller, and it is proportionally shorter: the ros¬ 
trum and head are shorter from the hinder edge of the eye to the 
apex, being together shorter than the thorax ; this is evidently less trans¬ 
verse and proportionally longer: the elytra are shorter, not only absolutely, 
when compared with those of that species, but also in proportion to the 
thorax and their own breadth, &c.: 'the second joint of the antennae is not 
evidently longer than the first, and is only ovate-conic ; their funiculus is 
also thinner. The insect has, moreover, an indescribable different aspect 
joined to the above-mentioned differences.
